Context modules not on CATN and not in TeX Live
by Axel Kielhorn 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hi! I'm trying to learn ConTeXt working through some examples I found on Context Garden and the internet. Since I already have TeX Live 2014 installed I could run most of the examples. When I ran into a problem, I installed the standalone version and compared the supplied modules. The following modules are not part of Context in TeX Live 2014. > animation/ GPL 3 > annotation/ GPL 3 > cmscbf/ GPL 2 on CTAN > cmttbf/ GPL 2 on CTAN > fancybreak/ GPL 3 > layout/ GPL > title/ GPL 3 > urwgaramond/ GPL 2 on CTAN > urwgothic/ Public Domain on CTAN > visualcounter/ Simplified BSD License Some are on CTAN, some are missing there. Since TeX Live takes the files from CTAN, it would be nice to put the missing modules there. What is the correct way to do that? I ask because I want to give a tutorial about ConTeXt at the Dante meeting in april and it would be nice to tell the audience that everything they need is already part of TeX Live and no extra installation is required. Axel -- Man sollte das mal mit ConTeXt betrachten.

ConTeXt logo in XML

Dear list, I have the following sample: \startbuffer[demo] <doc> <p>This context is not ConTeXt.</p> </doc> \stopbuffer \starttext \startxmlsetups xml:initialize \xmlsetsetup{#1}{p|doc}{xml:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregistersetup{xml:initialize} \startxmlsetups xml:doc \xmlflush{#1} \stopxmlsetups \startxmlsetups xml:p \xmlflush{#1}\par \stopxmlsetups \xmlprocessbuffer{main}{demo}{} \stoptext Is there any way that I get "ConTeXt" (and not "context") typeset as \ConTeXt? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Getting copy-pastable ligatures?
by Gerben Wierda 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

I’m using mkii. I’d like ot be able to copy-paste words form the resulting pdf. That works well, except for words that contain ligatures (e.g. fl fi etc.) Is there a way I can tell (Con)TeXt that the result must be copy-pastable. To make matters slightly more complex I’m using Optima, converted on a Mac: \usetypescript[serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [normal] % Bypassing type-gtamacfonts.tex \starttypescript [sans,serif] [optima] [texnansi,ec] \definefontsynonym [Optima-Regular] [\typescriptthree-OptimaRegular] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-Italic] [\typescriptthree-OptimaItalic] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-Bold] [\typescriptthree-OptimaBold] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-BoldItalic] [\typescriptthree-OptimaBoldItalic] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \definefontsynonym [Optima-ExtraBlack] [\typescriptthree-OptimaExtraBlack] [encoding=\typescriptthree] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans,serif] [optima] [name] \setups [font:fallback:\typescriptone] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone] [Optima-Regular] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Italic] [Optima-Italic] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Bold] [Optima-Bold] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone BoldItalic] [Optima-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [\typescriptprefix\typescriptone Black] [Optima-ExtraBlack] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[allsans][rm][serif][optima][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[allsans][ss][sans][optima][default][encoding=texnansi] \loadmapfile [gtamacfonts.map] \setupbodyfont[allsans,10pt]

by luigi scarso 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

A quick updated due a bug found by Hans while testing mplib with wrong input. The difference is only in rev: current is This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.3 (TeX Live 2015/dev) (rev 5140) while previously was This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.3 (TeX Live 2015/dev) (rev 5130) (in the future we will try to avoid a <minor>.<minor> number ). -- luigi

New mkiv bibliographic engine: bug with “Editor”/“Editors” differentiation (?)
by Jörg Weger 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

new bibliographic engine: bug with “Editor”/“Editors” differentiation (?) There seems to be a bug in the new MkIV bibliographic engine regarding the differentiation of the “editor” variable into “Editor” (singular) and “Editors” (plural) from BibTeX. I have attached a BibTeX file with only two books, one is a “book” naming one “editor” instead of an “author”, the other is of the “incollection” type and issued by several editors. In the BibTeX file I have used the uninverted names combined with “and”. The same bug applies if you delete all but one editors from the “incollection” example. In the following MWE I have changed the language to English and the style to the pure default APA. In English there should be the differentiation between “(Ed.)” and “(Eds.)” after the name(s) but only the latter applies. % =============== start of MWE ===================================== \setuplanguage [en] \mainlanguage [en] \setupbtx[specification=apa] \definebtxdataset[apa] \usebtxdataset[apa][150126_testbib_short.bib] \setbtxdataset[apa] \definebtxrendering[apa][dataset=apa] \setupbtxrendering[sorttype=authoryear,numbering=no] \starttext \cite[hoffmann:2000] \cite[sereno:1994] \\ \blank \placebtxrendering[criterium=text] \stoptext % =============== end of MWE ======================================= (My ConTeXt version is “2015.01.13 15:54”.)

Simple tocs
by John Culleton 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

In this country, and perhaps elsewhere, the front matter in a technical book will have two tables of contents, one listing just major titles (e.g., just chapters and titles or just parts, chapters and titles) followed by another one that lists sections also. Using mkiv I came up with this: \startmakeup \setupcombinedlist[content][list={chapter}] \placelist[content] \stopmakeup \startmakeup \setupcombinedlist[content][list={chapter,section}] \completecontent[content] \stopmakeup \startmakeup \null \stopmakeup I get no results at all, just blank pages. Any suggestions? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!

letter booklet
by John Kitzmiller 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Desired outcome: a multipage booklet on letter size paper with margins lined up when duplex printed and folded. Using imposition with [letter][letter,landscape] did not work, so to start I used: \definepapersize[booklet][width=140mm,height=216mm] \setuppapersize[booklet][letter,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP,doublesided] \setuplayout[width=115mm, leftedge=0mm, leftmargin=0mm, backspace=15mm, rightmargin=0mm, rigthedge=0mm] \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{8}{\input Ward \page} \stoptext but the inside and outside margins do not line up. Where is the elegant path? Thanks, John

contextual alternates
by Pablo Rodriguez 25 Jan '15

Dear list, I have the following sample: \definefontfeature[default][default][script=latn, calt=yes] \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][Pecita] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext The Pecita font is licensed under the Open Font License and it can be downloaded at http://pecita.eu/b/Pecita.otf. For some strange reason, the contextual alternates feature isn’t working. What am I missing here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
